Underside of Hatch Removal
 

Hi, I tried searching but couldn't find exactly how to remove the underside of the hatch. I was wondering if anyone could help guide me.

Looks like all push clips to me. Should be able to work a couple of fingers in there and start popping the panel off. If it's like any other plastic body panel those clips (orange ones) have a tendancy to break but I have a stock pile of them from ripping my Frontier apart.

yep just work a trim tool on the area where the trunk catches to the lower mount and then work your fingers in there and slowly pop it out. If you are careful you wont break anything.

got it. thanks guys. so you have to unscrew 2 bolts first then you can start popping everything right off.

I don't remember any bolts when i took mine apart.

There are two 10mm (I think, might be 12mm) screws under the hooks that hold the cargo cover. Once you remove those, it's all plastic clips.

Be careful, my hatch has never been the same since I removed this on my Z33 :(

as galeforce said, there are 2 10mm screws under the hooks.

:iagree:

yeah i was worried because when i put it back on the sides weren't fitting the same. but after putting the screw back on everything seems fine.
